U of U Speaker Criticizes America for Bigotry

speaker

Omad Safi, director of the Islamic Studies Center at Duke University, spoke in the Hinckley Institute of Politics about how American foreign policy and leaders from both major political parties created an environment in which ISIS has flourished. He pointed to negative statements made by Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz that produce a breeding ground for Islamaphobia, but he astonishingly also noted that, "Every time they make one of these statements, their donations go up." You can read more about what Safi had to say here.
